The other label is the Certification label, found on the rear edge of the
driver’s door. It tells you the gross weight capacity of your vehicle, called
the
GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). The GVWR includes the
weight of the vehicle, all occupants, fuel and cargo. Never exceed the
GVWR for your vehicle, or the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) for
either the front or rear axle.

TIRES
We don’t make tires. Your new vehicle comes with high quality tires made
by a leading tire manufacturer. These tires are warranted by the tire
manufacturers and their warranties are delivered with
every new Cadillac.
If your spare tire is a different brand than your road tires, you will have a
tire warranty folder from each of these manufacturers.
